Come on Klone take a Valium...I wasn't slamming you just pointing out what I thought the thread was about..I just didn't see any mention of what the spokes looked like on the Vintage wheels. Tom...the wheels I have seen are very nice...

The original American TT still show up at the swaps on a regular basis. I see alot of them in pairs for some reason.
A friend of mine picked up a a pair of 15x6 for his trailer he pulls behind his '34 Chevy street rod for something like $25 each. Small swap meets with 30-50 vendors are still the best. Just guys cleaning out their garages looking for a few bucks. Carlisle forget it.

I saw a set last summer with center caps from SS wheels. The guy had cut off the top of the American centers so that the ss centers would seat all the way down at the bolt ears. Then epoxied it in place. Looked really nice. I did a double take, and the guy started laughing...he said everyone does a double take!

Seems like he said the ID of the SS centers was almost exactly equal to the OD of the A/R centers at the base. Even if that's not so, I would think you could come up with something to shim it so it stayed centered.

Anyway, it looked centered while standing still in the parking lot. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Guys- what wheel would look best on '67 granada gold rs/ss, black top? Right now it has the big SS hubcaps, 14" wheels.
Thanks.
